Singapore Spots

Thursday 23rd July 2009

Well we have had a bit of a weird week this week trying to get back into Singapore life and time zone. We landed at Changi Airport a bit late after a flight where I was not feeling well - with the main symptoms being a fever and sore throat - as mummy kindly pointed out the classic symptoms of swine flu and we were met by a lovely man (Bernard) who helped us with our bags and drove us home. Then about 3 hours later we were back at Terminal 3 to collect daddy from the airport - we were a bit naughty and did not tell him so we got to say "surprise!!!" I think he was pleased to see us!!

Anyway we had a nice weekend, we had a lovely late lunch out with Jan and Alan who were visiting from Hong Kong, I have included a couple of pictures, as you can see I was clearly entertaining mummy and Jan with my stories of life in Singapore!! On Sunday we did a few jobs and then went out for an early dinner (all you can eat meat!!) before heading back home to try and get me asleep slightly earlier than last night - especially when i decided that 12.30am was playtime!!

After feeling unwell on the flight and being tired and a bit off my food (all things we put down to jet lag) I had another symptom appear - spots!!! A horrible spotty rash all over my body - luckily it did not bother me and mummy figured it was heat rash, so we spent Monday on a keep Eleanor cool mission - no clothes/nappies (cue mummy saying oops wee wee lots!!), swimming in the nice cool pool and lots of air con. However, by Tuesday it was worse so off we went to see Dr Vas - she said that I had a "post-viral rash" and a slightly sore throat still - which meant that 1) i got to keep my clothes on, 2) my next booster has been postponed for two weeks, 3) I was not contagious so i could still go out, although she did say to avoid big groups in case i catch something else and 4) mummy was finally letting me sleep rather than trying to me awake to stop the jet lag!! In the very close up picture of me at the top you might be able to see some of my spots, although they have faded now!

Well that did mean that the rest of the week has been spent recovering especially as mummy came out in sympathy with me and was feeling unwell too (although no spots for her - yet!!) I have been playing with my pushchair and dolls and we even took them for a walk around the condo, although occasionally i got too excited about something else and forgot about her (once on a slope -oops!!) Oh and I have another yuck - veggie burgers (what was mummy thinking - where is the meat in a veggie burger??!)

I think that was all the news this week. A lot of my classes have not started yet and I missed swimming because of my rash, but hopefully some things will start to return back to normal again next week.

Well speak later, bye for now
